+ <p>
+ Certain models of HP laptops have an ACPI BIOS that is incompatible with the
+ Linux 2.6.18 kernel shipped in &releasename;, which would prevent the fans from
+ spinning up leading to unnecessary heat stress. The kernel therefore disables
+ ACPI support internally when it detects certain ACPI BIOS versions. Models
+ known to be affected by this change include the HP nx6125, nx6325, and nc6120
+ models.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Users who require ACPI support on these systems may install a Linux 2.6.19 or
+ later kernel. Please see bug
+ <url id="http://bugs.debian.org/404143"; name="#404143">
+ for additional information.
